From all I've read it does work, but it deprives your body, so after you're done, it's extremely hard to keep the weight off, but I don't really know if it's true or not, just what I've read.

Atkins died of a heart attack...(probably due to eating nothing but meat).

It's a retarded idea of a diet anyway... let me kill myself with all kinds of fats, protein and cholestoral in order to eliminate carbs that i need anyway...

Bah, what Joe said...

Well not really on any count. He fell on ice and died of a brain aneurism.

The high carb diet came out in the 80's, and Americans have been getting fatter ever since. Fast food= ultra high carbohydrates.

If you ever read any of his books, you would have found most of it accurate. His main contention was that there is not a difference between mashed potatoes and ice cream, in how your body processes it. And that you need to control your sugar intake(carbs). He was a big advocate of a balanced diet and exercise. I do agree that eating the saturated fat is not a real good idea, but neither is trans fat and vegetable oils.

blasphemy...if youre going to put words that most people dont really know, put the definition por favor...eh i could look it up im just saying. thanks though btw never heard that term before.

I hate to tell you but most people in my experience do know the definition of blasphemy.

If your ignorance interferes with your ability to communicate at this basic of a level, the obvious solution is to remedy the ignorace.

Just my 2 psi, your boost may vary...

Too many complex carbs will ruin you - I can attest to that. What may seem healthy, if you don't know what you are doing, can pack on the pounds. One year - it took one year in Korea for me to gain A LOT of weight. I ate healthy, I ran regularly, and I didn't even drink alcohol very often [many service members in Korea drink their asses off] but my eating habits were horrible. I would eat rice before bed all the time. What I didn't know is that rice turns to sugar, and when not used for energy and burned off, it is stored as fat. Now not all of it was fat that I gained, as I carried weight with me all the time and strengthened my back and torso, but I gained 30 pounds in that one year. Watch yourself!

As for dieting - I recommend the South Bronx Paradise diet, baby!
